ANobIe SON OF a Noble Sire

Mr.. WILLIAM A. CAUTHoRs, aged forty, who
was run over and instantly killed on the 18th
OF February by atraln at Newport News, was a
nephew Of the late DR.. Luclus Cauthorn, OF
Hanover county, and son OF the late DR.. X. 3.
Cauthorn. OF Essex county, who, for many
years. was eminent in the practice OF his pro-
fession, both In Henrico county and in Rich
mond, and during the civil war was captain OF
the Essex cavalry. We can well remember the
superior medical skill OF DIR. X. 8. Cauthorn,
his genial disposition, his unsurpassed polite
ness Of manners, his unusual zeal In the cause
OF education, nnd his incorporating integri-
ty Of character. He was, In short, model OF
refinement and culture. He plead for education
fifty years ago as few did In those days-espe-
cially the superior education OF females-aDd
wherever you ind his children to-day you VIII
observe the indeiible impress OF the highest
intellectual and moral training which grand
and loving father could possibly stamp upon
them. He left seven children-yiz, Mr.. M. A.
Cauthorn. the late William A. Cauthorn, Mr.. X.
:. Cauthorn, now Of Texas; the late Mrs. X
Temple Gwathmey, Mrs. James Luxford, Mrs
l. z Bouehton. and Miss v. Elma Cauthorn,
devotee to teaching.
William A. was "a chipof the old block"
No wonder, then, that he was so faithful and
true In the discharge OF every duty OF life. De-
scent from such father Il rich inheritance;
yet again was he blessed In the best OF mo-
thers-the daughter Of the late Captain Samuel
Brown, Of Henrico county-from whom ne de-
rived another supply OF purity, reserve, con-
scientlousness, self-sacrince, and indomitable
energy. Mr.. Cauthorn was for several years
merchant Of Burkeyille. where he has many
warm friends. His intellectual and business
status, and his integrity OF character caused
him TO be elected the first mayor OF mat city.
Afferward he met with reyerses, which caused
him TO abandon merchandising, but In the hnal
settlement his creditors lost nothing, which
caused Judge Farrar to remark, !" There Is ono
honest man In Nottowayi" Life through he
never proved recreant 10 any trust reposed In
him.
The sweetest cordial we receive at last
In conscience Of our virtuous actions past"
For several years he had been an employee
OF tbs Newport-News and Mississippi Valley

New YORK, March 24.-The follow
ing is the latest Wall.street gossip with
regard to the Baltimore and Ohio
Developments in the Baltimore and
Ohio matter all point TO the Atchison
Company as the party most directly in
terested in acquiring control. Irving
A. Evans. who created furry by
his buying of Atchison stock in
Boston to-day, is in New York
now attending a conference with
the Ines-Staynor party. Reports al
ready made regarding this party
are receiving fresh confirmation, and
to-day Dow, Jones Il Co. published
the following announcement, for which
they state they have the best kind
Of authority: "The Baltimore and
Ohio option now held by the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton syndicate
is for the purchase Of the con
troll of the Baltimore and Ohio stock at
S175 per share. The syndicate has
paid SlO0 for the privilege of investi.
eating the property. This is the only
payment thus far made. The in
vestigation of the property is
now going on and is expected
to be finished in a few days. The OPP
ton expires next week. Christopher
Mercer is in the syndicate, as well as
Ines, Staynor, and several other large
capitalists whose names are withheld
for the present. The name of the
corporation or interest which will
operate the Baltimore and Ohio road is
withheld, but it will not be the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton, or the
Pennsylvania railroad, nor Mr.. Gould"
This statement was shown to the
Staynor-Ines syndicate, but they made
no comment on it other than to deny
that they had an "option." The feel
ing is also growing that, in spite of the
denials, the firm of Frank G. HolliDs
& Co. are interested in the scheme, az
they have been prominent in many i'm
portant negotiations in which that COM
pany was concerned. They to-day an
nounced themselves as bulls on the
market, which is considered very signifi-
cant, as they have heretofore pursued
a very conservative course.

New Yow, March 24.--The writ OF
. habeos corpus obtained by Henry Nj.
Folsom, ordering DR.. William NJ. Cate
to produce Miss Agnes Folsom, the
pretty actress and daughter OF Mr..
Folsom, was made returnable before
Judge Patterson in the Supreme Court
to-day. twas alleged that DR.. Cate held
Miss Folsom under restraint; that he
had ruined her, and she was insane.
The young woman did not appear Dr.
Cate was represented by Counsellor
William Allen and Charles Reed, the
counsel for Guiteau, the assassin OF
President Garfield. w. III. Mundy ap-
peared for Mr.. Folsom.
Counsel for DIR. Cate, in explaining
the non-appearance of Miss Folsom,
asserted that she was not in the pos
session OF his client, and claimed that
she was not insane. Counsel said the
charge that his client had taken adj
vantage of his relations with the family
and ruined her and taken her away from
her family was false.
In relation to the suit of w. J. Bald
win, former lover OF Miss Folsom,
against DR.. Gate, to recover damages
for alleged assault, the defendant
charged that there was no merit in the
action, and claimed it was conspiracy
to injure him in his profession.
Miss Folsom's affidavit was produced
in court. IL states that she will be
twenty-four years old on May 9, 1887,
and that she was born in the town
of Richmond, Me. She claims
that she is not, and never has
been, under duress by DIR. Gate or any
one else that il is false that she has
been seduced and taken away from her
mother by DIR. Cate, or that he has CO.
creed her in any way. She swears that
she is sane, and that no one was author
lied to take proceedings in her behalf.
She states that she lived at home until
she was seventeen years old. In 1880,
with the consent of her parents, she be-
gan the study of music in Boston to
prepare for the operate stage. She
studied for three years. For nearly four
years she has been on the stage as
an operate singer, and has wholly sup
ported herself almost entirely sup
ported her mother, and assisted to sup
port her father. In conclusion, her
affidavit states that her relations toward
her father force her to remain silent as
to the true reason Of the bringing OF
these proceedings and attack upon her.
Counsel for Mr.. Folsom will file traverse
of return tomorrow.
Miss Folsom, it has frequently been
asserted, is q cousin of Mrs. Cleveland,
but it is now authoritatively stated that
the relationship is more remote. DR..
Cate is son of DIR. Samuel Cate, OF
Washington.

The Hunter DefaIcation.


PHILADELPHIA, March 24.-The liza
bilities of the firm of James q John
Hunter so far discovered amount to
S194, 900, divided as follows: Keene,
Bodine & Co., 100000 Mechanics
National Bank, $50, ZOO; Fourth-Street
National Bank, 10000; Third Ma
tional Bank, 6,400; West-Philadel-
phia National Bank, $14,800; indie
pendence National Bank, $4,000. All
compromising paper bears the name of
James Long, president of the Union
Trust Company. Mr.. Long says he
does not know to how much paper his
name has been forged, but the forged
paper has been estimated as high as
three fourths of the entire amount. In
addition to the amounts mentioned
there is supposed to be large amount
of paper ahoat which bears only the
firms name. A rumor that James
Hunter took the steamer for Brazil
yesterday gained ground this morning,
as nothing has been heard from him
since Tuesday, when he left the city
ostensibly for New York.
There is naturally great anxiety
among businessmen with whom James
& John Hunter had dealings to know
whether or not their names have been
used after the manner that Longs has,
end time only can bring out this fact.
There is said to be quite large amount
of the firms own notes in existence,
and there is a prevailing opinion that
John Hunter has been involved in COM
plete financial ruin by his brothers
misdoings. A friend of James Hunter
who knew him intimately says he does
not believe the man had more than $40
or S50when he left the city. The theory
is that when certain notes matured
James Hunter first resorted to the des-
perate scheme of forging James Longs
signature.
This was kept up, it is supposed, for
years, one forged note being used to
lift another at successive dates at ma
turity.
Appraisement of the property OF
James & John Hunter has not been
commenced yet, and it will be days
before the full value of the assets is
known. A mere guess Mt the visible
assets and liabilities has been made as
follows Assets, 1888, 600; liabilities,
2516. 100
